Commenting on the results of the survey, Rajeev D.

Despite a depreciating Rupee, the Indian travel sentiment remained highly upbeat with focus on early planning and maximising savings. He added that our Thomas Cook India 2016 Indian Summer Travel Report Card saw exciting new trends including, an Extended Summer and Slow Travel – with increasing uptake from discerning travellers and young professionals who believe inbeing a true traveller and not merely a tourist.
Rajeev Kale further said that we saw strong uptake for Visa on Arrival and e-visas- a smart strategy deployed by short haul destinations like Malaysia and Singapore and newer tourism entrants like Seychelles and valuable in inspiring demand. Experiential Travel is now India's travel mantra and the surge in demand this summer was significant with authentic local elements that included stays in Airbnb accommodation- atrend that we believe is here to stay.
